Gifts Under $25.00

Skyfall iPhone Cases – We found the Caseology Skyfall case to be a great combination of protection without adding too much weight or size to your iPhone. The Skyfall case is available for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, in addition to several older iPhone models. Read our review here.

Bentoben iPhone X Cases – With the recent launch of the iPhone X, Apple is now offering a leather folio style case. But at $100.00, it’s a pretty high price for a case that you may not use all the time. If you or someone you know is getting an iPhone X this year, why not add to their case collection with this beautiful, genuine leather folio case at a fraction of the price.

iClever Boostcube – Some products are evolutionary and others are revolutionary. Some products are neither but once you know about them, you feel you have to have them anyway. That’s how we feel about the iClever BoostCube 4. Read our review here.

iClever Booststrip – With the ability to charge four iPhones or even one iPad and 3 iPhones, all without the need to use a power brick, and also be able to plug in your Mac, the iClever BoostStrip IC-BS01 is a nice companion to the iClever BoostCube 4 we previously reviewed. Read our review here.

Sonos Play 1 – There is so much content available through the Sonos Controller app that we are still discovering Internet radio stations and streaming service channels that we never knew existed. Read our review here.

Jabra Speak 710 – The Jabra Speak 710 is a great additional for any situation. We can certainly see it being used on the desk of a private office or in a conference room.
